Fur and Cotton

This week it's all about cotton and fur.  Well, fake fur that is.  I'm still in denial of winter, so I am mixing winter fabrics with summer.

Even fake fur comes in handy in NE where there are more than 100 days below freezing.  Although I have gone to fake now, I must confess I have some real furs still hanging around.  It has become politically incorrect to wear real fur in Boston--and I can feel the tension when I wear one.  (disclaimer:all of my real furs are over 25 years old--could that be a disclaimer?) 

For those of you who would like to see more of my sketches, here is the one from this week.

I have lots of fake fur stuff; fur clogs, fur scarfs, fur hats, fur vests, fur coats, fur headbands, fur gloves.  My girlfriend calls my fur outfit crazy-ass; but seriously, not as crazy as this fur skirt.

Vests and More Vests

Vests are a great transition piece going from winter to fall spring.  Well, if we EVER get spring around here!  Weather has still been very wintery here in Boston; and more snow in the forecast.

Meanwhile, I am digging in my wardrobe archives to find items that give me a glimmer of spring, without freezing to death.  I actually wore this vest twice last week.  A crime?  No, but something I usually don't do, but it kept me warm. 

What are your transitional pieces for winter to spring?

Oh, and hello to Patti and all my friends over at Not Dead Yet Style's Visible Monday!
